Title: Your Soul on a Plate
Pairing: Scott McCall/Allison Argent
Rating: PG
Summary: Scott and Stiles have been cooking together forever so of course they'd be competing in the same season—but there's also this girl with dimples. Allison never had chef friend until Lydia found her, seconds after arriving at the competition—but there's also this boy with brown eyes.
(A Top Chef AU.)
Length: 10,000 words
Notes: Thank you as always for these reality competition AUs to [personal profile] honestys_easy for the brainstorming and the beta and the general cheerleading. I swear, I came up with the idea for the next Top Chef to be in Boston before I knew they were actually filming there this summer.
(Of course the dorm challenge wouldn't be at the ol' alma mater—they haven't let anyone film there since Love Story—but I couldn't resist.)

Title: The Maternal Instincts of Betas
Pairing: Teen Wolf: Scott McCall/Allison Argent
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Scott expected to go through junior year alpha-omega claiming as an observer and maybe find his mate later in life, like most betas. Then he met Allison, and it wasn't just his love life that changed, but his whole future.
Warning: (skip) A/B/O verse. Mentions of past and future mpreg.

Length: 18,000 words
Notes: Like rest of this mini-verse, this is grade-A Romantic Fantasy Sugar that presents instinctive mating-for-life at seventeen (or so) as entirely unproblematic. There's a lot of overt mutual consent going on, but I know some people feel that mating as a concept is always already dub-con, so note that this really is an omegaverse story, including preset roles from birth, a biological imperative for mating (heat or rut) and biological differences between alphas and omegas, and all of those are present in the story as well as the mating-for-life and the tentacle-like ovipositor. There isn't any actual mpreg on the page, but there are mentions of past mpreg (the sheriff) and future mpreg (Scott and Stiles). And as will become clear in this story, betas in this mini-verse aren't just "regular" humans, but a blend of intersex and pansexual, and there are fewer of them than alphas and omegas.
Thank you pinetreekate for the incredible beta and for holding my hand when I realized this story was going to be much longer and more involved than I had anticpated.
This is the final story in the Claiming is Confusing 'verse, and closing the 'verse is bittersweet, like all endings. Thanks to the mods at the a/b/o ladies challenge for giving me a place to think about omegaverse femslash, which led to everything else; to the the Wincon'12 femslash panel for the idea of the ovipositor for alpha and beta females being tentacle-like; to Kaister for commenting in the Derek story that I should write one about Scott and Allison; to all of you who offered help and support along the way; and to everyone who has read the stories in this 'verse. The response has been amazing, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

I just want to make it easier for other kids )

Title: Arrives Without a Suitcase
Pairing: Lydia/Erica, Scott/Allison, Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Stiles finds himself pregnant with his fourth at the same time his friends Erica, Scott and Allison are all having their first. So of course they not only want his advice, but tell him he should write a guide to pregnancy that doesn't assume all omegas are passive and docile, and remembers that betas can carry children, too. To his surprise, he finds he's up for the challenge.
Length: 23,000 words
Notes: Written for the [community profile] abo_bigbang. Super awesome art by Verity!!!!! Title from the Beatles song "Lady Madonna."
A companion piece to The Migratory Patterns of Omegas, The Mating Rituals of Alphas, and soon-to-be-posted The Maternal Instincts of Betas. This entire mini-verse wouldn't exist without Verity's encouragement and support, so all the thanks go to her and all the blame to me.

You love telling people what to do! )

Title: Distracting
Pairing: Scott McCall/Allison Argent
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Allison likes a little danger. (Or, why Scott and Allison were in such a rush to leave pack meeting.)
Warning: (skip) Allison and Scott are playing with the idea of Scott being a dangerous creature and Allison ceding control to him, but it's just play—their encounter was fully planned out ahead of time, as becomes clear at the end. That said, Scott is fully wolfed out and playing it up while they're having sex.
Length: 1000 words
Notes: Written for the "consent play" square on my [community profile] kink_bingo card, and suggested by Scott and Allison giggling about bestiality to Stiles. (See notes for more.) Companion fic to Distracted (Stiles/Derek) and Distractions (Lydia/Erica). Thanks so much to [personal profile] verity for the awesome beta!

These encounters were too special to tell everyone about )

Title: Because of Elizabeth
Pairing: Teen Wolf: Scott McCall/Allison Argent; also Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale
Rating: PG
Summary: The pack has its first baby, which causes some heightened emotions for both the wolves and the humans in their midst.
Warning: (skip) Graphic presentation of breastfeeding, allusion to baby burping.
Length: 500 words
Notes: Originally posted on tumblr. Working out my Allison feels here. Centered around breastfeeding a baby, so walk away if that's not your thing.
